I often have wondered aloud and sometimes to myself where this country went wrong and where we are heading. I wonder how to explain to my children and to my grandchildren how the hell we have become a country of underachievers and overspenders. How we have become overstimulated with visions of underage sexually explicit images of minor children and then to top it off those same girls in the images become pregnant at 13-20, and society will not see a problem with it. It has become glorifying to this country to hear a story about damaged children going through this. IE Jerry Springer, and most of the daytime talk show circuit. These shows draw light on the subject but exploit it at the same time, why? Money. TV shows, and movies, are all compliant in this as well. Children nowadays are exposed to all of this mess and have no explanation for why it is going on. (MONEY). I feel that it is because the parents have also become caught up in this same vicious circle. Working two jobs to afford all their new toys while forgetting the most important thing, their children. Now I know not all parents are like this because the ones that try to stay involved in their child’s lives are not only fighting the child but the societal government that in turn tells them what they can or cannot do. Also throws sexually explicit classes at them at the age of 10-14. I have seen a story the other day of children exposed to (foreplay for LGBT teens) with no parental involvement. Ask yourself this, What would you say to your child if he or she came home at 10 years old and asked you about this subject?
If we do not turn from this path we are doomed. Just, like every society in History that went down this road. I know what I will hear now is, that there is no way America will come to this and that you think like an old man. I am an old wise man who knows his History. And History has a hell of a way of repeating itself. Example: Look at the hairstyles and the clothes of today’s teens. Remind you of the 70’s? Simple but true.
If we do not distinguish that witch is immoral or evil we will become that which changes us forever. If we hide in the dark while our freedoms and morality are taken from us we then become the dark. We must raise the light of freedom to return this country to its greatness. And throw off the chains of tyranny and take back our families, our religious freedom, and the innovations that made this country great. Installation of family values is the right of the family, not the government.
Here are some facts:
1.)The U.S. has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the industrialized world – twice as high as in England or Canada, and ten times higher than Switzerland.
2.)The U.S. teen pregnancy rate dropped six percent between 2008 and 2009.
About 750,000 teens get pregnant in the United States each year. Nevada has the highest teen birth rate; 113 out of every 1,000 teens will get pregnant.
3.)About 1 in 3 women become pregnant at least once before they're 20.
4.)A sexually active teen who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.
5.)It affects education - only a third of teen mothers earn their high school diploma. And only 1.5% have a college degree by age 30.
6.)It also affects their kids - girls born to teen mothers are more likely to be teen mothers themselves. 7.)Boys born to teen moms are more likely to end up in prison.
75% of girls and over half of boys report that girls who have sex do so because their boyfriends want them to.
8.)8 in 10 girls and 6 in 10 boys say they wish they had waited until they were older to have sex.
9.)Most teens (6 in 10) and adults (3 in 4) believe that teen boys often receive the message that they are “expected to have sex.”
10.)Diapers are expensive, but it's nothing compared to the $9 billion that teen pregnancy costs the United States each year. This includes increased spending in child welfare costs and public sector health care.
